THE Paper outlines the more important considerations which influence the economics of electric transmission, more particularly long-distance transmission which may be associated with hydro-electric generation. The Authors consider that, although direct current may become competitive for transmission over particularly long distances, it is not practicable at the present stage of development to include reliable data concerning costs; the Paper is confined to consideration of overhead transmission of power at 50 cycles per second, alternating current.
